Market Overview:
The global polycarbonate materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polycarbonate materials in various applications, such as bulletproof windows, sunglasses & CDs, electronics, automobile headlights, outdoor fixtures and other applications. Polycarbonate is a versatile material that offers excellent optical clarity and high impact resistance. These properties make it an ideal material for various end-use applications.
Product Definition:
A polycarbonate is a polymer of carbonic acid with the molecular formula [C6H8O4]. Polycarbonates are thermoplastic materials, which means they can be heated and molded into shape. They are often used to make products that need to be strong and durable, such as eyeglasses, CDs and DVDs, car headlights, medical instruments, and sports equipment.
Thermoplastics:
Thermoplastics is a class of polymers that can be heated and molded in the shape of desired products. They are stronger than other thermoplastics such as polyethylene, but weaker than glass-based thermosets. Thermoplastics have applications in various sectors including automotive, construction, electrical & electronics industries among others.
Thermosetting:
Thermosetting is a material that undergoes an irreversible change when heated, and then returns to it's original state after some time. Thermosetting plastics are often used in high-temperature applications such as furnaces and ovens. They are also used for producing cement, adhesives, sealants & coatings and other industrial purposes.
Application Insights:
The bulletproof windows application segment led the global market and accounted for more than 35% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The product is widely used in bulletproof windows, which are used at various government buildings, banks, military installations and other high-risk sites. Increasing security concerns among individuals have boosted demand for these products across the globe.
Polycarbonate is also extensively used to produce sunglasses & CDs owing to its superior properties such as impact resistance & clarity along with low weight and price compared to glass counterparts. Moreover, it can be molded into desired shapes which makes it a preferred material over glass when manufacturing eyewear or compact discs due to its flexibility & durability over time.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is projected to account for a revenue share of over 45% by 2030 owing to increasing demand from end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, electronics and medical.
The growing population in emerging economies including China and India are likely to drive product demand across several sectors such as construction materials, household appliances and consumer goods. Rapid urbanization coupled with rising disposable income will also support industry growth through 2030.
North America accounted for a significant revenue share in 2017 on account of high product penetration across bulletproof windows application segment due to stringent government regulations pertaining vehicle safety standards coupled with consumer’s preference for vehicles equipped with better protection against bullets or shrapnel during armed conflicts or terrorist attacks since 9/11 attacks on US soil (2001). This trend is anticipated to further boost polycarbonate materials consumption in bulletproof glass applications within North America over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics
- Rising awareness about the benefits of polycarbonate materials over traditional materials
- Technological advancements in the production of polycarbonate materials
- Growing demand for lightweight and durable products
- Stringent government regulations for safety and security
